From
http://ci.pierre.sd.us/preamble.htm:
The City Flag, designed by Henry M. Reed, was adopted at a City Commission
meeting on May 25, 1937. The body of the flag was green, to represent Pierre as
the green city of parks and lawns. In the center was an outline of the sate
capitol with white letters "Pierre" above and "The Capital City" below. The
border was scarlet, representing American Indian life which surrounded this
area. The original flag contained miniature flags in each corner--American in
the upper left, British in the upper right, French in the lower left, and
Spanish in the lower right--representing the possessors of this territory since
the discovery of America. Flags which were produced for everyday display did not
have these miniatures.
